There are zero stars... AARP's customer service is horrible in the state of AZ. I have called several times to no avail of satisfaction. Emails have been sent and nothing. I truly am so DISPLEASED that I will not renew membership! Also, I have tried to call Corporate and again nothing. This such is bull---t. Too many employed and not enough service. I would never recommend AARP to anyone ever! Should anyone reading this at AARP care enough to contact me to assist; my email can be found under my plan # of *******286. Thank you.
AARP isn't telling the truth. Congress is not cutting Medicare or social security and the post office that's not true. And President Trump he's not cutting anything from Medicare or social security either are the Republicans. Stop putting out misinformation and lies. We know your Democrats and you know where that got you. Look at inflation look at my bank account it's almost turned into zero. So AARP speak the truth stop lying to us. And another thing there's no climate crisis there's no climate change that's nothing but a scam. I've been with you people 20 years and all you do is give out misinformation. Stop it!
AARP will start to send you monthly renewal notices via the USPS six months before one's renewal date, even after one asks them to stop. A tremendous waste of paper and postage. I did not renew my membership last year and I don't really think they do anything to say one money. AAA is much better!
I joined AARP in September 2018.so I could start getting the magazines. Almost 3 months later I haven't received a magazine. They always have a excuse. I'm sick of it. I told them to cancel my membership and to refund my money.
I have a 35k adjustable term life insurance policy. It started out affordable, but not its doubled within 10 years. Garbage and a rip off. NO CASH VALUE after thousands paid into this garbage policy.
I rated AARP the lowest because they claim to advocate for seniors, but the liberal agenda oppresses my voice. My membership fees are moving to a company that provides my voice to help create programs that meet my needs and not their own.
My 79 year old mother-in-law owed 300$, on a 100,000$ life insurance policy. She's been paying on this for years. Her funeral is taken care of., everything else is paid for. I had to see her cry, because these idiots cancelled her policy after all these years. She's just worried about leaving something to someone important to her. What a bunch of worthless $#*!s!
Aarp has been promoting the cheaper insurance price they have on autos on TV for years. The Hartford insurance provider pulls you in with an initial lower quote, but the next year's quote is 25 percent higher even with a perfect driving record. They assume that once they have you as a customer you'll stick with them. Don't be fooled by this come on.
Misled by rep about my refund cancellation. Refund if cancelled in 24 hours... flight yes - hotel part of package no, however was told probably would be charged a % and couldn't say how timely a return. Never traveled out of the country so my first booking. Allowed myself to be pressured to make the reservation "only 7 slots left - don't want to lose this deal." I am presently out over $1,800!
This is supposed to be an organization that assists individuals over 50 not cheat them. Dropping my membership.
Received multiple mailings. Finally signed up, paid them. Still receiving mailings, emails but no membership card. Emails say "non member"? Have called to follow up several times. They indicated it takes 4 weeks to process payments. In today's world that is absolutely not acceptable. They have all our correct information in their system, which they have apparently "sold" to 3rd parties because suddenly we are receiving tons of new junk mail. Look, at the end of the day, many businesses will give you the same 5-10% discount just for asking nicely. Save your money, avoid the nonsense associated with this company. For me, they have my money, and apparently due to their own record keeping and processing, I get nothing in return. Time is too valuable to fight it. Just please, be advised, this company seems to be NOTHING like what they advertise on tv. Stay clear and protect your money, your mailbox and your sanity. Time has value, don't waste yours.
Why apply for 3 years (received card) (check was cashed) and not receive free gift but instead received 2nd application. Is this just some revenue enhancement technique or does AARP believe when you get older you forget what you pay for. Very bad business!
I look to AARP for the basics; info on health, insurance, financial trends, legislation in progress, ect. Dont look at it more than a few times a month.
When AARP veers off into politics and opinion I lose interest instantly and exit the app.
I dont care what bruce sringsteen or michele obama think about anything. Seriously, I dont.
If I wanted to read people magazine I'd buy one.
That whole celebrity worship is a disease itself.
So I just use it for it's useful purposes and ignore the rest.
This is a useless organization. After getting mailings for the last two years i tired getting a quote for home insurance in Sag Harbor. Oh, sorry, says The Harford, that is a "wind zone." and we don't insure there. AARP is good ror one thing... get 5 to 10 per cent off a cup of coffee. I'd give it zero stars but it doesn't allow me to.
This site has been no help nor offered any discounts that I've requested. I've attempted to use restaurants but only Denny's and Outback steakhouse in my area (not Red Lobster). And no discounts for Amtrak just siteseeing train excursions. Point blank Worthless!
These people send weekly mail to my dead father. They upped their game by sending it to my address; he never lived at that address. When I called to request they remove him from their list, they said "it will take 6 to 9 months." When asked the reason for this, they said it has to do with how their process is scheduled to be sent out that far in advance. That sounds like some good organization, but isn't so nice when you are trying to remove a dead family member from the mailing list. If I had to guess, their motto is probably something like "throw large volumes of crap at the wall and something will stick." The reason I say this, is that they send things to my deceased father about driving, when he hadn't had a driver's license for 10 years leading up to his death.
In a mailing i received on 10-14-2020, they want me to believe that Trump is in process of eliminating funding for SSA. He did suspend the payroll deduction tax on employers for employees making less than 100k per year as a reaction to the pandemic. The operative word is defer rather than eliminate yet AARP not only sends an inflammatory written letter to their membership but wants you to sign the petition to he and both speakers. This is inflammatory to the voter base and false information within 20 days of an election. I will not be a part of this and cancelled my subscription today.
Been a policy holder since 2009 with no claims. Never got a cancellation letter by email or US Mail. Called on 6-7-16 to make payment and was told my policy had been cancelled two months ago and could not renew it. Stay away from The Hartford auto insurance and if you have AARP Hartford you might not be covered and not know it.
I'm so glad I removed them from my mom's insurance. They like to boast about saving their customers money but what you save is a joke. It's already a joke living in California with everything overpriced, it's no surprise that AARP came out of California. In addition, these bozos with all their junk mail they send you tell you how and who to vote for.
Yep, AARP is definitely a product of California.
The Hartford car insurance company is a rip off! Very high premiums, dishonest and unethical. Yet AARP promotes this company. I will not renew my AARP membership again.
I now do not trust AARP. I was paying double for car insurance compared to my friends with other companies!
Be ware!
AARP like so many national organizations practices reverse discrimination. Check out their "Community" sections. They have communities for several minorities but, like a mind is a terrible thing to waste, seems anglos don't count or matter! There are great things about AARP but if I didn't absolutely need them for affordable Medicare programs I would no longer participate.
Answer: I did not know AARP endorsed Suze Orman! That's disgusting! That woman ripped off so many others she needs to be barred from using the AARP website! PERMANENTLY! It's shameful that a woman would takeONE red penny from AARP or any other person in the world. She cheated people out of millions! For shame, Orman!
Answer: Cuz... They don't follow the Americans with disability act and think of all possibility would be a check sheet. 1) try 4 blind or deaf ( I forget) 2) PC, laptop, mobile phone, tablet 3) lazy computer people / making 80k a year ( playingvideoGames@ work) 4) laying off older,,, smarter... Experienced people so they can hire illegal imagrantS ( budget before customer SERVICE*) Sorry there's about another thousand reasons but I got to have dinner around 5 Eastern Time*
Answer: You do absolutely nothing to help seniors. You insurance is high you membership had in traded. You don't ADVOCATE FOR Seniors. I don't understand why anyone would support you! All you want is money! Please advise to what you have done for senior citizens. I don't want a free coffee And expensive insurance!
Answer: AARP is just not worth it to me. All the services and insurances they offer, are not a good deal. So they aren't doing me or my husband any favors.
Answer: Yes. The membership is together one account, The spouse and the primary get the same year/years.
Answer: Leonard, Keep It Simple by calling or emailing AARP with your question
Answer: I wouldn't signup with AARP for love nor money... and money is what it will cost you and you will get nothing, zippo, zero from them but a "run around" and junk mail. They are worthless.
